Winfield Not Practicing

Many of us fans, and especially the Vikings coaches, are hoping for a speedy recovery for the Vikings top cornerback Antoine Winfield.

The latest update I can pass along is that Winfield is not practicing on Monday. 

I wouldn’t read too much into this, as Winfield still has the possibility to play on Sunday.  I was speaking with someone in the comments section about this and suggested that the Vikings will play it safe with Winfield, especially since our upcoming opponent is the Lions.  Winfield’s long term status is more of a concern than his availability on Sunday.

I suggest that if he can play, that the Vikings ease him back onto the field by using him in nickle situations only.
